NAME

mpeg_to_cell − MPEG-1 to Cell bitstream converter. 

SYNOPSIS

mpeg_to_cell −i filename −o filename [ −v ] [ −h ]

DESCRIPTION

mpeg_to_cell is an XIL program that converts an MPEG-1 bitstream into a Cell bitstream.  It does not actually use the SunVideo card.  It merely uses XIL to decompress MPEG-1 frames and re-compress them as Cell frames. 
 
While there are SunVideo molecules for CellB, there are none for Cell, so the SunVideo card cannot directly produce a full frame rate Cell bitstream. Cell is computationally asymmetric.  Cell compression is much more compute-intensive than Cell decompression.  Since the SunVideo card can capture MPEG-1 frames at full frame rates (if MPEG_RATE_CONTROL is FALSE), the mpeg_to_cell tool provides a method of producing a full frame rate Cell bitstream.

OPTIONS

−i filename
name of input MPEG-1 bitstream.

−o filename
name of Cell output bitstream file.

−v verbose mode

−h print help message
